Yeah, getting cut from the Oilers would be about on par with being cut from the Leafs.
Schremp needs to learn that making a few silly moves in a shootout isn't good enough to make you a hockey player.
What's the deal with Downie? He gets suspended for 20 games and then gets sent down and will be playing in the AHL apparently. So, after the Flyers play 20 games of their season, could they theoretically call up Downie to play for them? Kind of a waste of a suspension isn't it? Doesn't really send a strong message. :roll:
No, they can't do that. He has to be called up before the suspension is put in place. What they could do is say he's on the roster, and let him practice with the big team for the first 20 games. Then, let him play one game and send him down to the AHL. If they weren't gonna use him anyway, it eats up the suspension.
